Cover Art for The Siren Depths

April 19th, 2012

Just got this today! This is the cover art for The Siren Depths, the third Raksura book, set after The Cloud Roads and The Serpent Sea. It's by Steve Argyle, the same artist who did The Serpent Sea art.

I think it's actually a combination of two of the scenes I sent them, but I'm pretty sure the central figure is supposed to be Moon. The whole spines-frills head part doesn't really look like I imagine it; I think Matthew Stewart got a lot closer to that with The Cloud Roads cover.

Glad you are pleased.

Very happy to hear that you're pleased with the cover, though to be honest none of the book covers have really pleased me since I finished "The Cloud Roads."

None of them look remotely like what you described in the books themselves. The worst was what I presume is supposed to be Jade on the cover of "The Serpent Sea" but none of them seem to even attempt to create what you've described inside. :(
